This week we're covering a tough topic: desirability politics and dating preferences. Analyzing where our preferences come from, especially within the context of sexual and romantic connections, may tell us a lot about society as a whole rather than any individual person’s choices.Our researcher, Dr. Keyanah Nurse, joins us to day to help us unpack how all desire is political, how these politics play out in dating and partner selection, and how they may show up in managing multiple polyamorous relationships.
